forum problems

[barnabis]

I've been trying for two days now to get on this forum and finally I got on just now. The problem is that when I try to access the forum, the page never loads. It just 'hangs' and does nothing. I used ctrl alt and del to see if my browser stopped responding, but it was running fine. I then typed in a different website in the browser and the site loaded up almost instantly. The issue is only here. I am able to use other php forums from other games that I play without any problems. I never even have disconnect issues while playing runescape in high detail and often have played runescape while downloading stuff without even a slow down in game play. Got a cable connection btw.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have windows xp home with sp 2 on it. I've tried to use IE explorer and firefox to access the forums and both just 'hung' until now. Is there a problem with the forums here? I have Norton as my firewall, but that is still running now and the forums seem to be working fine. I see that a lot of posts have been made in the past two days.

Nope, nothings wrong... the servers that deal with the forums just get overloaded with 100000 people trying to access it at the same time. Thats why they go so slow and alot of times you won't be able to get on them at all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This happens especially on mondays when there is a RS update, and all the morons flock to the forums to post and let everyone know "there is an update omg!! maybe its the dragon plate body!!1!1one!shift" as if we didn't know there was a update... *sigh*

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But yea... there's not much you can do. I just try to get here when I know there won't be much traffic because all the little 11 year old kiddo's are asleep in bed dreamin about lolly pops... mmm... lolly pops...
